I just couldn't possibly say it better myself!

I borrowed this from a China expat forum:

“I live in china right now and I can honestly say that from my experience, most of the people are obsessed with becoming rich and will claw and cheat their way to the top. It’s a dirty, overcrowded, rude atmosphere. The people are kind to me because I’m a foreigner but I see them treat one another like crap on a daily basis. I find myself saying hello to maintenance staff rather than acknowledging the existence of businessmen because I find those who have attained some sort of power in this country to be wretched human beings. The regular people are great, albeit uneducated and all the frustrations that brings, but it is the richest of the Chinese that are cruel, abusive human beings. Such is communism, I suppose.”
